They can address most of your concerns, e.g., drivers and previewers that use the same .pk font trees to minimize disk usage. Their prices are reasonable (in my opinion), unless you are unwilling to pay anything at all for software. Their support has been excellent both in getting questions answered and in getting bugs fixed. Disclaimer: I have no connection with Personal TeX except as a satisfied user for three years. -- John Shipman/Zoological Data Processing/Socorro, New Mexico USENET: ucbvax!unmvax!nmtsun!john CSNET: john@nmtsun.nmt.edu ``A lesson from past over-machined societies...the devices themselves condition the users to employ each other the way they employ machines.'' --Frank Herbert
